Dear 34 Souls I Follow Online

This is a letter of complete and utter gratitude. I'm writing this letter to thank you for the comfort, joy, happiness, reassurance, inspiration and figuritive kick up the arse you give me on a regular basis. We don't often share our appreciation for those we follow on the internet, I know I'm guilty of a quick double tap here and a re-tweet there - not taking the time to interact properly, to let you know that you matter, that you really help the community you have built. That the work you do matters so bloody much.

I've decided to put together a whopping great list of those I absolutely adore on the tinterwebs. The souls who have really made an impact on my life, on the decisions I make and on how I live my everyday - whether they are aware of it or not. This is my letter to you, to each and every one of you, to thank you for all that you do, all of your work, the tears, the frustration, the insight into your life, no matter how big or small it may be. It's a thank you for influencing who I am, helping me to shape the person I'd like to become. For the giggles, the 'I can't sleep and I need to get up in four hours' entertainment. It's a cheers for not making life seem easy, for being real, honest, relatable.

It is, from the absolute deepest depths of my soul, a thank you for being there.

Lucy.

Thank you for being on the end of a message, pretty much every single day. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life in Cornwall with your husband and gorgeous cat Gizmo. Thank you for sharing your braveness, your strength, your story. Thank you for creating such beautiful pieces of art. I adore everything that you do, which I'm sure you know. I love catching up with your Instagram stories and your Sunday gratitude posts. Following the launch of your independent wedding stationary business Leaf Lane Studio has filled me with so much inspiration, joy and hope. Bundles and bundles of hope that others will feel like they can take the steps you have taken to live your dream. Thank you for being you Lucy, for sharing your highs and lows, your stunning walks along Cornish footpaths. Your kindess radiates through all that you do. Thank you.

Rosalyn.

Thank you for your support and friendship through Instagram. Your honesty regarding your wellness journey in recovering from illness. Thank you for your brilliant Instagram lives, sharing tips and advice on distancing oneself from their phone. Thank you for sharing your life in Valencia, your mindfulness, your gratitude and your very exciting training in becoming a Life Coach. Thank you for your daily challenge in December for Christmas, I think you love Christmas almost as much as me! Which is impressive to say the least!! You inspire me more than you could ever know Rosalyn. Thank you.

Laura.

Laura, also known as Waffle or her official title for everyone I ever speak to 'My Best Friend Laura'. Laura is my go to for literally every single tiny hiccup life throws at me. Whenever I'm in Cornwall I always pencil in a whole day just for us, just to drink tea and catch up. Much of our time, I'd say probably 70% of it, is spent chatting about the online world. 10% is spent talking about food and the other 20% is spent chatting about how bloody tough life is. A few years back we both had our own magazines, we would be up well into the early hours of the morning working on putting them together ready for print. She would proof read mine, I'd proof read hers.

Laura is re-launching her wedding magazine very soon - it's a magazine for the unique bride who is looking for that something different and I am so bloody proud of her. Like bursting with proudness. Laura, thank you for motivating me, for backing me in all that I do. For being there, always. Just so you know, your biggest cheerleader is right here, screaming from the sidelines, absolutely rooting for you and knowing, completely and utterly, that Dotty Weddings is truly something special.

Em.

Thank you for showing the world what courage is. For your don't mess me with mindset. For standing up to cancer and saying a ginormous fuck you. Thank you for sharing your story, your gorgeous dogs and adventures in life. Thank you for your beautiful jewelry. You are a force to be reckoned with. I can't find the words to show my gratitude to you, so from the very bottom of my heart, I am sending so much love and appreciatio your way. Thank you Em.

Emma Gannon.

Thank you for your hilarious book CTRL ALT DELETE, which quite frankly had me in tears with laughter. Thank you for your bloody epic podcast, for your gripping, meaningful, interesting interviews with voices that share thought provoking ideas.

Sam Sparrow.

Mrs.Sparrow a huge bloomin' ginormous thank you to you. I think I first came across you with your previous podcast The Unsorry Podcast which I literally devoured in about a week. I adore your new podcast which is all about travel - a subject I'm not really into at all, and yet I can't help but smile and nod along whilst listening to your interviews. You're lovely and wonderful and I'm so bloody grateful I found you on the tinterwebs because... well you just bring me a whole load of joy. THANK YOU!

Giovanna Fletcher.

Thank you for making me, and thousands of others aware of what it's really like to be a mum. For broaching subjects on motherhood that are just not spoken about. Whilst I'm not a mum yet, I feel more prepared in knowing just a little bit of what is actually to come. If you make me feel better, safer, less scared, I can't imagine how you must make mums feel. Thank you also for your beautiful videos, your smile which is ridiculously infectious and sharing your life with the world.

Sara Tasker.

The Official Instagram Guru. Thank you for your beautifully created photography, your openness, your complete integrity in an industry that is severey lacking in such a virtue. Your help, the community you have worked hard to build, nurture and look after. Thank you Sara for showing others that those dreams you have really can become reality with hard work, perserverance and lifting others. I am addicted to your podcast and listen intently, commiting tips and advice to memory. You wrote a post a while back entitled Observations On Having Money (from someone who never did.) and I have shared it with others so many times. You drive me to get to a point where I feel stable and secure. I suppose you're hope and proof that it's possible. Anything is possible. Thank you.

Your stories on instagram are one of my main reasons for popping on. Your pug Boris literally has my heart. Thank you for your humour, your love for others, and the giggles you give me on a daily basis. Thank you also for teaching me so much about baby loss. Whilst it's a really difficult subject to talk about, you do it so gently, so beautifully and in such a raw, honest way. Thank you Elle for sharing your story, for showing the world that no matter what happens - even if it's the very worst thing that can happen, somehow, somewhere, you will find an inner strength to keep going, to fight, to grow and to be. Thank you.
